La Plage, Beachfront restaurant and vacation home in Pernem, India
La Plage is a beachfront restaurant and guesthouse in Pernem, situated on Asvem Beach in northern Goa, India. The restaurant has both indoor tables and an open terrace facing the sea, and the guest rooms are housed in a separate structure on the same property.
La Plage was founded by a French family who settled in Goa and opened a small beach restaurant that gradually grew to include guest rooms. The name, which simply means "the beach" in French, reflects the founders' origins.
La Plage draws on French coastal cooking traditions while using seafood and produce sourced locally along this stretch of the Goan coast. Eating on the open terrace, with the sound of waves nearby, gives the meal a tone that feels different from a typical restaurant visit.
Booking ahead is advised, especially from November to February when the beach draws more visitors and the restaurant fills quickly in the evenings. Prices are above the local average, so it is worth keeping that in mind before you visit.
Asvem Beach, where the property sits, sees far fewer visitors than the more famous beaches further south in Goa, which gives the surroundings a slower pace throughout much of the day. Guests who wake up early can walk along the waterline well before the beach fills with vendors and sunbathers.
